see excerpt
Shot in Nordic downhill ski centers, the video depicts people striving for neoromantic experiences on a stage dominated by natural forces and mechanical devices. Instead of infinite, sublime nature, we are nowadays faced with a frighteningly finite ecological reality. The video asks how ski resorts, grounded on the nature imagery of the romantic era, reflect our current relationship with the environment.
